For many years, Radiator AAA Server Software has been used in different utilities: from mobility solutions to water monitoring. In addition to this, Radiator is used more and more in power companies that require secure ways for authentication and accounting in their networks. Radiator, being the most flexible AAA server software in the market, is easy to configure to these case kind of use cases.
In some use cases, Radiator (and RADIUS protocol in general) is used to get accounting information from electric meters over the internet. Another use case, where secure access is critical, is the power system system management.
Radiator providing secure authentication for power system management
In power system networks, secure access and authentication to management systems is crucial. In times of cyber attacks, proper authentication methods ensure that only authorized personnel and equipment are able to manage power system equipment.
The standard way to do this secure authentication is role-based access control (RBAC) for power system management. RBAC assigns human users, automated systems, and software applications to specific roles, and restricts their access to only those resources, which the security policies identify as necessary for their roles.
As a part of being compliant to industry standards, Radiator also supports role-based access control (IEC 62351-8) in power systems and the related RADIUS attributes specified in the standard.
